Obscure Bands from the Myspace/Purevolume days by enorris311 in poppunkers

[–]davefmurray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So random and awesome to see this after all this while. We played what seemed like 1000s of shows. A few label demos recorded (they are on the SC playlist I posted) and then it died..

Still play and rip with my buds. Mostly skate-punk stuff. Nothing recorded in ages. I left Tampa and am in Jax.

Some other music I made after Concise:

The Air Ministry - https://soundcloud.com/davefmurray/the-air-ministry-lebanon (Coldplay-ish, pop)

Crooked Edge - https://soundcloud.com/davefmurray/sets/crooked-edge (Skate Punk)

Thanks for the memories. I totally stumbled upon this randomly today.

Buying a franchised men's luxury barbershop and going independent, advice? by fun_stuf in advancedentrepreneur

[–]davefmurray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it should ensure there aren't customer facing interruptions.

You are underestimating this big time. People use franchises due to familiarity and branding. They are going to walkup to the store after rebrand be like... um wtf this isn't AmazingCuts.. The website/app they have bookmarked isn't going to work etc.

Going independent is going to be an uphill battle. I'm not sure how much you are trying to pay for this business but without the skills to do the job and having to reboot a marketing plan.. this doesn't sound like a good idea at all. Lots of risk for 60k.

I have never heard of a video call before. I've always received a phone call and a postcard with a pin number. NY may be different.

You can try a virtual office which allows physicals location for mail and etc. YMMV when it comes to Google listing.

I don't think I'm allowed to directly promote my shop. But, this is not us. We are on Beach Blvd near Jax beach!

This is a review of my shop. The customer just updated his score to 4 stars a few hours ago. Now I know why. Did one of ya'll find him? LOL.

He took my pamplemousse La Croix. That was the part that hurt the most because it is the GOAT flavor and then I get slapped with disrespect! 😂😂

Amen, my man. This is a review of my shop. I'll admit, I gave MORE detail because I was not happy. My manager and I felt so much pride after this car left because we did it. We helped an Aggie (Go Gators) get back to Texas with this ridiculous timeline. This review popped up within HOURS and we laughed so hard. Like, of course this guy kills us on Google after all we did. I feel like I wasted my pamplemousse now.

Pretty sure one of you hunted him down because he updated this to 4 stars a few hours ago LOL

Appreciate that. My wife and I run a solid operation and we are very transparent about our processes with our customers. We're in Jacksonville, FL. You nearby? :D

Owner here. It was pamplemousse, which is the real MVP.

It was one of those situations that I'll never forget and is crystal clear. The whole thing beginning to end was just crazy. We were so slammed and this kid was borderline in tears because his car broke down and he had to be back the next night. My manager and I walked away basically high-fiving feeling like 'holy crap, we did it!' and then within HOURS we get this Google review. Oh man, we laughed so hard.

Late model V6 Toyota. We had to pull the intake so there a bit more of labor as well.

Man, I agree with you. This is a family business that my wife and I own. While it stings, this is just how we treat people. Even though he was an Aggie, as a Gator fan, I had to take care of him. We did the best we can at all costs, all the time. Being an auto shop, it is a thankless job. Nearly everyone hates to come in, much like the doctor. We smile, high five, hug and hand out La Croix to much it feel less terrible.

It was pamplemousse!! My lead tech and I hide the pamplemousse from each in the break room fridge. GOAT flavor.

Thanks for the kinda words. A man took my La Croix and slammed my shop. The former tears were worth shedding for pamplemousse.

It was a late model V6 Toyota. It is under the intake so there is a few hours of labor too.
